"consider that you do not know what will be tomorrow. "
— James 4:14, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”
“whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. ”
“Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.”
“You do not know about tomorrow. What is your life like? For you are a puff of smoke that appears for a short time and then vanishes.”
“Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow.”
“When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.”
“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”
Brothers, do not choose to slander one another. Whoever slanders his brother, or whoever judges his brother, slanders the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
There is one lawgiver and one judge. He is able to destroy, and he is able to set free.
But who are you to judge your neighbor? Consider this, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into that city, and certainly we will spend a year there, and we will do business, and we will make our profit,”
consider that you do not know what will be tomorrow.
For what is your life? It is a mist that appears for a brief time, and afterwards will vanish away. So what you ought to say is: “If the Lord wills,” or, “If we live,” we will do this or that.
But now you exult in your arrogance. All such exultation is wicked.
Therefore, he who knows that he ought to do a good thing, and does not do it, for him it is a sin.
